older IRO Frame Value

Would anyone happen to know if the value of the older IRO Mark V frames (2005ish) are more sought after than the newer ones. From what I have heard, they have the aero-like tubing and are a bit lighter. can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks

I don't think they are really worth anything more, but some people preferred that geometry over the newer frames.

I actually came across one of these in Chicago this past weekend and bought it. The frame itself seems lighter than the newer model Mark V that I am currently riding. It is also a pretty cool looking frame all around.

Hoping to piece together a few parts and get it on the road sooner than later.
